Swedish town full of sex-mad lesbians
Tourism staff are being swamped with queries from Chinese men over a myth about a Swedish town populated only by 25,000 sex-mad lesbians.The mysterious 'Chako Paul City' in Sweden was said to have been founded by a wealthy, man-hating widow in 1820.
A pair of blonde female sentries are said to stand guard at the town and men wishing to enter risk being "beaten half to death" by police.
News reports of the city have crippled China's internet providers as millions of goggle-eyed men read up on the town's rampant women and try to find out how to get there.

College issues dress code --- for teachers
It is normally students who are sent home for inappropriate attire, but one English college is threatening to send lecturers home for violating a dress code, which includes a ban on jeans.
Their union has accused Birmingham Metropolitan College of "acting like the fashion police."
The newly re-issued dress code requires lecturers to wear a "business suit; smart jacket and co-ordinating trousers or skirt; smart shirt/top/blouse or smart dress."
Scruffy trousers, jeans, ostentatious jewelry and outrageous hair styles and colors are strictly banned.
Earrings must not be excessive and are the only form of jewelry allowed in visible piercings. The policy also states that tattoos must be covered.

For the busy executive - an anti H1N1 suit
For the executive who doesn't have time to come down with the flu, a Japanese company has invented a new form of protection -- the anti-H1N1 suit.
Menswear company Haruyama Trading claims the suit can protect wearers from the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu, as it is coated with titanium dioxide, a chemical commonly used in toothpaste and cosmetics and that breaks down when reacting with light, supposedly killing the virus upon contact.
I wonder if this suit looks like this one :P

Gaza zoo's zebra really a painted donkey
A POVERTY-stricken zoo in Gaza is in such a dire state that it has resorted to painting stripes on a donkey so it could have its own "zebra".
The Marah zoo, not far from the Bureij refugee camp and littered with broken-down animal toys, was showing off the bizarre creature claiming it was one of the exotic African beasts.
"It's really a painted donkey," admitted the zoo's director Mahmud Berghat when asked about the creature.
After explaining that the zoo used hair dye on the unsuspecting donkey, Mr Berghat said: "We cut its hair short and then painted the stripes."
Despite the confused four-legged beast hardly being able to fool zoologists, the "zebra" has been a hit with the thousands of Gaza-bound school children who have never seen such an exotic animal.
"But don't tell anyone," Mr Berghat said. "The children love him."
Nasa scientists "bomb" moon in search for water!
The plan is to slam two unmanned spacecraft into a dark crater at the lunar south pole, kicking up a six-mile high dust cloud that may contain water.
British researchers helped Nasa pick the spot for the drama, which will be broadcast live on the American space agency's website.
It is believed water ice could lie at the bottom of dark craters at the Moon's poles, where temperatures are lower than minus 170C.
The crashing spacecraft consist of an orbiter, LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite), which is now mapping the lunar surface, and its 2.2 tonne empty Centaur launch rocket.
Both are currently on collision course with the Moon and still attached together.
In the early hours, British time, the probe and rocket will separate. Then at 12.31pm the larger rocket will smash into the crater at 5,600 mph, blasting out 350 tonnes of debris in a 6.2 mile high plume.
Following close behind, the LCROSS satellite beaming live pictures back to Earth will fly through the material and four minutes later plunge into the crater itself. LCROSS will trigger its own dust cloud a third of the size of the first one.
As the debris is propelled into sunlight, scientists on Earth will study its composition with ground-based telescopes.
To follow the current development take a look at the NASA Blog of LCROSS Flight Director Paul Tompkins on http://blogs.nasa.gov/cm/blog/lcrossfdblog.blog/posts/post_1254984713637.html

Irish students told to bring their own toilet paper
Obviously Ireland was hit hard by the financial crisis and so was the budget for its schools. As a cost-cutting measure the principal of St. John's Girls National School in Garrigaline asked her students to bring their own toilet paper with them to school!
Seriously, where does cost saving end and cruelty start? ... poor girls, no more valuable toilet tissues.
